Welcome and thank you from the President and Vice-Chancellor

The generosity of donors and volunteers has played an intrinsic role in Surrey’s growth and success as it firmly establishes itself within the top ten of UK universities. We are very grateful for your continued support, which provides our students with the very best university experience and the world-class facilities that allow us to conduct research of global significance.

The Clinical Simulation Suite within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences is one such facility where valuable donations have allowed the University to invest in the very latest high tech resources and equipment for our students. We have recently received funding from the Ted Adams Trust for two new patient mannequins that can talk and react in a realistic way and are a major attraction of the Simulation Suite for potential trainee nurses, pages 4 & 5.

In recruiting our students, Surrey aims to attract the brightest candidates regardless of background and financial circumstances. Changes to university funding and student finance policies mean that bursaries and scholarship schemes are more vital than ever to enable exceptionally talented young people to realise their potential. Surrey also welcomes the support we receive from businesses such as Santander, Kier Group, BP, Fluor and BAE Systems Detica, pages 12 & 13.

Increased financial pressures also mean that some students may struggle with day-to-day living costs. Surrey remains committed to helping our students once they are here and through our Annual Fund we are able to provide hardship grants to those facing unforeseen penury. Your valuable donations to the Annual Fund have ensured that dedicated students have been able to continue their studies here at Surrey without the distraction of financial worries, page 8.

A recent report published by the Higher Education Funding Council for England has discovered that donating to universities in the UK is more widespread than ever before. I’m delighted to introduce our new Chair of the University Council, Dr Jim Glover, who has written a piece for this edition of Supporting Surrey looking at the findings of this report, the difference charitable donations can make and the future of philanthropy at Surrey, pages 20 & 21.

The real beneficiaries of your donations are our students and, we also recognise the contribution our volunteers make to the University’s success. The generosity of Surrey’s alumni, friends and supporters have made a telling difference to their education and at our recent graduation ceremonies, I was delighted to shake hands with so many confident, mature and well-equipped graduates as they embarked on the next phase of their exciting careers; careers which will always bear witness to your valuable support.

Professor Sir Christopher SnowdenPresident and Vice-Chancellor

The mannequins have realistic features, such as blinking eyes with pupils that react to light, chests that rise and fall with respirations, palpable pulses, various heart and lung sounds, and the ability to cry, drool and bleed. They also allow for chest tube and tracheotomy management, defibrillation and urinary catheter insertions.

The chance to try out new procedures on the simulators is a real confidence-booster for students.

“Having had limited ward experience so far, being able to work with a simulator takes the pressure off a little bit,” said Naomi. “We all take it seriously but it’s nice to know that we can’t actually hurt someone. It’s not as daunting as a ward full of real people.”

And it’s not just medical procedures the students are trained on – although the simulators are unable to talk back, students treat them as real people, putting them at ease as they would a human patient.

Jade McGrath, who is also in her first year, says you soon forget the mannequins aren’t real. “They are so human that it feels completely natural to talk to them. You find yourself answering their imaginary questions!”

The Ted Adams Trust is committed to advancing nursing and midwifery education in the Guildford area and, in addition to the recent funding, makes awards to final year Surrey undergraduate students taking degrees and diplomas in Higher Education, Nursing Studies and Midwifery Studies.

Support from donors such as the Ted Adams Trust means we can give our students the valued extra, which sets our degree programmes apart. The Trust said: “We’re delighted to support the University in providing high quality nursing training for its students. The mannequins help trainee nurses develop their practical expertise and decision-making in a safe environment, which, ultimately, benefits the local community when needing their care.”

Toni Schwarz, Head of Programmes for Professional Preparation in the School of Health and Social Care, said: “The Ted Adams trustees recognise that the Simulation Suite plays an important part in our training: working in the Suite enables students to put their theory into practice, so that they are competent and confident to go out into real clinical practice.

“We really appreciate the support from Ted Adams, which allows us to focus on caring, compassion and communication – the skills good nurses need.”

We would like to purchase additional and upgraded equipment for the Clinical Simulation Suite to significantly improve and enhance the learning experience of our nursing, paramedics, midwifery and operating department practice students.

For more information on how you could support the Suite, please contact:

When you do go on to the ward, you don’t panic as you have seen it all before. The mannequins help build your confidence from nothing to something you’re totally practised in.

However, some of those worries have been eased thanks to the Clinical Simulation Suite, where students like Naomi can put their training into practice in the safe environment of a mock hospital ward. As she says, it’s their chance to practise their clinical skills without compromising patient safety.

The University is a leading provider of education programmes for health and social care – we’re rated 7th in the UK for Nursing and Paramedical Studies in the 2014 Guardian University Guide. The Simulation Suite, opened in 2010, trains students and doctors in a realistic hospital setting. It consists of a hospital ward, operating theatre, intensive care unit, maternity suite and a mock-up home.

Practice makes perfect“This is the place to learn from your mistakes.”

Student nurse Naomi Langridge is in her initial training year at Surrey and, understandably, feels a little nervous about caring for patients for the first time.

As patients become increasingly concerned about the healthcare they receive, clinical medicine is more focused on patient safety than ever before, and the Suite offers students the chance to prepare themselves for when they are in a real clinical situation.

An integral part of the ward are patient mannequins which react like real patients to the medical care they receive and can exhibit a variety of conditions and illnesses. Thanks to funding of £54,760 from the Ted Adams Trust, we have been able to buy two more patient simulators to enhance our training. These ‘high-fidelity’ simulators respond physiologically to student interventions, such as medication administration, intravenous fluid infusions and application of oxygen.

The club has achieved considerable medal success, despite the lack of a competition-standard trampoline and one deemed unfit for use.

Its remaining three trampolines are outdated, the oldest one was bought more than 15 years ago and even the youngest one looks back on half a decade of jumping students. However, the £6,400 award has enabled the club to buy two good second-hand trampolines, one at competition standard.

Club president Helen Piggott said: “The new equipment will really make a difference to the team. Trampolines start to lose their springiness after five years, and sag, which makes them unsafe. Previously our performers were at a disadvantage as

Trampolinists reach new heights

Members of Team Surrey’s trampolining club are bouncing with joy after receiving a grant from the Annual Fund to replace dated equipment.

6 | Enhancing the student experience | University of Surrey

The experience of students in hospitality and related areas of study has now been further enhanced thanks to £3,000 funding to buy a food kiosk so students can test their catering business ideas in the real world.

It’s been a genuine pleasure to serve on the Annual Fund Disbursement committee in the last year, as I’m sure it will be for my successors.

The President of the Students’ Union is in a unique position in both deciding where money should be distributed to best support students, and also being the elected representative of all Surrey students to the University. As such, I’ve been well-placed to witness the benefits the Annual Fund brings to students and student life at the University.

As we know all too well, it’s what we do over and beyond our academic studies that sets us apart from other graduates. There are many projects which may otherwise have been un-touched were it not for the generous donations to the Fund – most notably in recent years, a gift to install theatre standard lighting and staging in the ageing university hall, to allow our many arts and performance societies to thrive in an environment fitting their standards, as well as new equipment for our ever-improving sports clubs.

Of course, it’s not just projects such as these that the Fund benefits. The Student Hardship Fund, which received £50,000 this year, has helped many students over the years, some of whom may have had to drop out of university altogether without the financial support and advice it provides.

The Annual Fund has opened up access to better research equipment and learning opportunities across all faculties, adding even greater value to a Surrey degree.

It is always hard to decide which projects to finance to ensure donations to the Annual Fund are spent wisely, and we could increase the number of opportunities with further support. I hope that many more people will consider a donation to the Annual Fund in the years to come to benefit Surrey students.

Why the Annual Fund is so importantLast year’s president of the Students’ Union, Dave Halls, who was also a member of the Annual Fund Disbursement Committee, talks about why the support we receive is so highly valued.

Students get taste for enterprise

The University has a world-renowned hospitality programme and produces excellent graduates in this field year after year, many of whom go on to become successful entrepreneurs.

A grant of £12,250 has been awarded to move the current study space for law students away from the main entrance to a quieter area and to also replace furniture and update computer services.

Jane Savidge, Director of Learning and Learning Support Services, said: “The changes will significantly increase availability, reduce tensions caused by noise issues and conflicting learning styles and, overall, improve the learning experience for almost 14,000 students, and more than 500 law students in particular.”

There is also good news for students from Guildford School of Acting (GSA) and the Institute of Sound Recording (IoSR) who will be able to access high quality music due to £10,000 funding for four new listening stations in the Library.

For GSA students at all levels, their courses require familiarity with a wide range of musicals and the ability to research suitable songs for singing tutorials. The Library does have a comprehensive collection of CDs available but currently no specific equipment for listening, apart from the general PCs that are in constant use.

For IoSR students there is an added requirement to provide better sound quality than can be obtained from listening to CDs through a PC, and to replace the current equipment for listening to audio tapes and records.

The four new music listening stations, available for all students to use, will be set up in a dedicated area in the Library and should significantly increase the student experience at Surrey.

Library upgrades improve student experience

The Library and Learning Centre is the academic heart of the University and two new Annual Fund projects will improve its facilities further.

they could not practise their routines on the trampolines on which they would have to perform during a competition.”

Team member Jo Daniel added: “Knowing you haven’t been able to prepare on the type of trampoline used in competitions does affect you psychologically. You get more nervous which can affect the core tension you need to stay on the trampoline.”

The new equipment means the club can now host competitions too and the further good news is that the three elite trampolining athletes studying at Surrey on the High Performance Athlete Support Scheme can start training with the club and pass on their experience.

To pilot the programme a borrowed kiosk had been used to test feasibility as well as identify the key resources needed to secure long-term sustainability.

The food kiosk introduces new products to the University market, complementing

the diverse culture that Surrey fosters. Up to ten different product offerings, including frozen yoghurt and Taiwanese bubble tea, could be sold every week and these ranges will change throughout the semester in response to customer feedback.

Recordings saved for posterity

An ambitious project has begun to digitize the catalogue of sound recordings made by Tonmeister students in the Music Department over 40 years.

Professor Dave Fisher, who retired last year, has volunteered to convert around 3,000 tapes and early discs into digital format. Once complete, the work will be an impressive archive for sound recording enthusiasts and experts.

The project has recently received £5,500 from the Annual Fund to pay for 1TB of digital storage on the University’s IT servers to house the existing digital recordings, and space for those currently being digitised.

Professor Fisher said: “The tapes date back to 1970 and most of the machines they are played on are no longer manufactured. Even if the tapes didn’t deteriorate, and they do, within ten years the equipment may not exist to play them, so if we don’t do this soon the material will be lost forever.”

He estimates that it could take about five years to complete the project. “This is very early days,” he said. “I find it fascinating and am coming across material I had forgotten about. I hope that at the end the archive will prove to be a valuable resource.”

Sitting pretty

Improving the campus is always high on our agenda and three grants from the Annual Fund will enable students and staff to enjoy both the internal and external environment.

The funding will increase the areas of social seating in the Lecture Theatre Building and in the Lewis Carroll Building, providing students with an attractive and inviting informal learning area to gather and meet peers ahead and after lectures.

There will also be additional seating around the campus lake and Terry’s pond. The areas are enjoyed by students, staff and visitors alike, particularly during nice weather. Two more seating areas will be installed, so more people can appreciate the attractive green spaces.

Our student callers really enjoy speaking to our alumni, catching up on what they have done since leaving Surrey and receiving valuable career advice.

One of our callers last year, Ruth Dunlop, who studied Mathematics, said: “The best part of the telephone campaign for me was learning how two people with the same degree can follow completely different career paths.”

The two campaigns raised £105,000 in donations for the Annual Fund over the next five years. Many thanks to all of you who have contributed to this great success. Every gift, no matter how modest, really makes a big difference to the lives of students at Surrey.

Chris Gethin, Director of Development and Alumni Relations, said: “Our donors’ invaluable support ensures that Surrey continues to be a great place to study and can compete with the best universities, not only in the UK but also around the globe.

“We are incredibly grateful to all of our donors who help enhance the student experience by creating hundreds of new opportunities, whether that is through awarding scholarships to students showing exceptional talent, providing a lifeline to those who would otherwise have to drop out of University due to severe financial hardship, and supporting projects that add value to the academic and extra-curricular experience.”

However, much still needs to be done to keep up the good work of the Annual Fund. If you would like to make a donation, please contact:

However, those dreams can soon be shattered if money becomes so tight that they might have to leave Surrey altogether. For those who find themselves in severe financial difficulty, through no fault of their own, the Student Hardship Fund is a lifeline.

Advisors at the Student Services Centre help students every step of the way to receive the money they so desperately need but they also look ahead to make sure finances are healthier in future. This includes everything from drawing up budget plans to approaching other charitable organisations which provide various awards for students in need.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the Annual Fund has donated £50,000 this year to continue offering support to students who have nowhere else to turn.

Dr Norma Denny, who leads the money advice service, said: “Access to the Hardship Fund can make a huge difference to students, both in terms of their progress academically and sometimes to entire families. Not all of our students are single. It is not unusual for children to be involved. Annual Fund help can quite literally be life-transforming.

“I thank our donors from the bottom of my heart for the donations they have made which mean my team can, in turn, support the students who so desperately need our help.”

Hardship Fund transforms students’ lives

Radhika Pothi, pictured above, is a PhD student studying the BCG vaccination, given as a preventative vaccine against tuberculosis (TB). About one third of the world’s population is infected with tuberculosis bacteria and around 1.5 million people die each year in developing countries. Coming from India, Radhika knows all too well the scale of the problem. “I have seen so many TB patients from early in my life,” she said. “I know how dreadful the disease is.

“I want to give back something to society by helping to completely eradicate tuberculosis, which kills people of all ages, creed and ethnicity across the globe. I am not aiming for a Nobel Prize, but just the opportunity to complete my PhD successfully.”

That opportunity was given through advice from Norma Denny, Head of Student Advice, and financial help from the Hardship Fund.

Having taken a loan from the Indian government, receiving help from her parents and juggling a number of part-time jobs, Radhika still found it

Vital research which could save lives across the globe might have come to nothing but for the help of the Student Hardship Fund.

For most students, arriving at university is a dream come true, whether they are embarking on their first degree or returning to complete a Masters or PhD.

wasn’t enough to make ends meet. The situation worsened when both her parents became ill and their medical fees in India meant they could no longer afford to pay towards Radhika’s living expenses.

“Last year was a nightmare for me. I had no confidence and I was so worried about the financial burden, coupled with trying to fit in my studies around my jobs. I care deeply about my research but I felt the situation was compromising my lab work. My supervisors have been incredibly supportive in a number of ways but I felt I couldn’t do my best.”

However, Radhika’s future now looks a lot rosier. The financial help from the Hardship Fund was enough to ease some of the pressure and the money advice team helped her secure external funding from two charities.

“Money is always going to be tight, but I’m trying to save as much as I can for next year’s fees. I don’t allow myself to go out and spend any, but I’m fine with that. The money from the Fund is not a massive amount but it gave me back my confidence and made me feel happy again.”

Hospitality graduates serve up student supportThe School of Hospitality and Tourism Management has a leading international reputation in education and research. The School has been ranked number one in The Guardian University Guide 2014, the fifth consecutive year that Surrey has topped the rankings in the subject. It has a thriving alumni network and is delighted that two of its graduates have pledged their support to students in the last year.

Scholarship funding for overseas placements

Robert Earl, who launched the Planet Hollywood brand, has set up a scholarship fund to help students on their Professional Training Year.

Robert graduated from Surrey with an honours degree in Hotel and Catering Management in 1973.

Offered to students on the School’s undergraduate BSc programmes, The Robert Earl Scholarship Fund will help UK/EU students undertake international exchanges or professional training placements in an overseas organisation. The scholarships will be awarded to a minimum of 10 students each year and be worth up to £2,500. They are initially available for students going on exchange in the 2013/14 academic year.

Robert said: “I am grateful for the education and training I received at the University and am keen to do what I can to help the School continue to provide the best hospitality and tourism education in Europe.

“Students today need to be able to easily adapt and work in different countries and cultures so I am pleased to be able to contribute to helping Surrey’s students gain international experience.”

Robert also offers a placement to one undergraduate student each year at his Planet Hollywood Orlando restaurant, providing them with valuable experience and the chance to be involved in the operations of a global business.

Home-grown talent wins events award

Events management is very close to the heart of alumnus Ian Eldridge, so much so that he wants to reward those students who excel in this area of hospitality.

Ian, owner of Bartellas restaurant in Kent and who graduated in 1981, has set up a cash prize and gourmet meal for the highest scoring team in the second year Hospitality Event Management module. The first winners were students who set up a one-day food fair. The team of six created Surrey Sourced to encourage people to buy produce ‘from their own doorstep’.

Ian said: “I don’t think there is enough encouragement for front of house activities, where dealing with the public is so critical to success. I wanted to reward that and thought sponsoring this module would be an excellent way to show my support.”

Cancer funding enables further researchResearchers at the University, who have developed a revolutionary new urine test that can detect prostate cancer, have been given a £10,000 grant to help fund their continuing work.

The money was presented to Professor Hardev Pandha (pictured), Head of Oncology at Surrey, by the Hospital Saturday Fund charity, one of whose aims is to support charities working on medical projects.

Scientists have identified a protein called Engrailed-2 (EN2) which is made by prostate cancer cells and secreted into the urine, where it can be easily detected using the new test.

The Hospital Saturday Fund award will fund further research into EN2. Early results suggest it may be possible to detect EN2 in cancer using antibodies with fluorescent dyes which show up in conventional imaging techniques. This will potentially allow doctors to monitor the size of tumours and the progress of patients after treatment.

We would also like to acknowledge the support we have received from the Prostate Project, Breast Cancer Campaign, the Waterford Foundation, the British Lung Foundation, the Alchemy Foundation, and Sir Samuel Scott of Yews Trust.

MBA scholarship to inspire entrepreneurs

Financial security for arts students

Taking an MBA at Surrey Business School changed John Bigos’ life – he said goodbye to his career as a successful director at an architectural practice and instead used his skills to turn around a struggling business.

Acting can be a precarious profession, but at least four aspiring thespians can enjoy a more secure university experience due to two scholarship schemes.

That business – London Duck Tours – now has an annual turnover of £4 million and John is at the helm as managing director. The knowledge John gained on his MBA proved invaluable in restructuring the company, which carries more than 250,000 tourists around London by river and road each year.

And its knowledge John is keen to help other aspiring entrepreneurs gain through the new £5,000 London Duck Tours Entrepreneurial Scholarship.

“If you have an MBA you look at the world from a different perspective,” he said. “I would recommend the MBA to anyone. I have ended up owning a company because I realised problem companies are a challenge for me. Others will take different things away from the programme and that is the beauty of it – a fresh perspective on your future career.”

Students at Guildford School of Acting, part of the University, have received support from the McGrath Charitable Trust and the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation (ALW). Both help talented students in financial need study for their degrees.

Second-year musical theatre student Will Smith was awarded the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation scholarship.

He said: “This money took a huge weight off my shoulders, meaning I could solely focus on my training and my development as a performer. The ALW Foundation truly changed my life and I feel very lucky.”

Michael Moor, Head of Musical Theatre, said that Will was a worthy recipient. “Will is an extremely hard-working student, who has become a well-rounded musical theatre performer. He has a remarkable ability to portray integrity and nobility that will stand him in good stead in his career.”

Musicalsupport

Penningtons Solicitors LLP have been generously supporting student activities in musical performance at Surrey for many years, in particular through their prize for final-year students. Students compete for this in the course of a lunchtime concert early in the academic year.

The 2012 competition showcased the huge variety of music performed by our students, and the high quality of the performances made the judging panel’s decision particularly difficult. It was decided to share the award between three outstanding musicians: Emmeline Tingey (trumpet), Joel Grainger (violin), and Manley O’Connor (keyboards). Penningtons also sponsored a performance of the London Community Gospel Choir during the Guildford International Music Festival, which is managed by the University.

Bridge-building competition spans the generations

A popular module for first-year civil engineering students is the annual competition to see who can design the most resilient bridge.

The contest has become a highlight in the calendar and many alumni will have fond memories of battling with cardboard and string to come up with a suitable design. The event is sponsored by the Kier Group, which awards prizes for the best structures.

Paul Sheffield, Kier Chief Executive and a Surrey civil engineering graduate, said: “This was one of the stand-out sessions that really turned me on to civil engineering. This competition goes from strength to strength and it’s a great learning point for students.”

A wide network of supportAs well as support from alumni and individual donors, we are very fortunate to receive funding from corporate organisations.

Oil giant BP funds new research centre

BP is investing $7 million to establish a research group at the University to study fundamental science and recovery processes related to heavy and viscous oils. These form a significant proportion of the world’s remaining crude oil resources and research is required to improve recovery and minimise the impact of production.

The Centre for Petroleum and Surface Chemistry (CPSC) will comprise academic and technical staff located within the Department of Chemistry.

Engineering funding improves student experience

The current generation of chemical engineering students gets an even more realistic experience of working in industry thanks to generous funding from Fluor, a leading engineering and construction company.

Third-year students spend one module working on chemical manufacturing and gain practical experience using the ‘HESS’ rig a (medium scale manufacturing plant). They produce high-grade saline solution, which has many pharmaceutical applications, from low-grade raw salt. The rig has been upgraded using a £15,000 grant from Fluor so it more accurately reflects equipment seen in industry and also improves some of the process steps.

Global connections

Surrey is part of the ‘Santander Universities’ network of 700 universities in Spain, Portugal, Latin America, China, the United States and the UK. With an agreement focusing on international exchange, entrepreneurial activities and the mobility of students and researchers within the network, Santander Universities Global Division funds a number of initiatives.

These include scholarships for incoming and outgoing students, research mobility support, and language training.

Nicole Korlath, a Tourism Management student, received a student travel grant that enabled her to spend the summer of 2012 working as a volunteer in a tourism company in Argentina. She said: “This first-hand experience has given me an insight into the tourism industry and how such a business functions as a whole, which I see as a valuable experience for my Tourism Management studies and my further career. My visit would not have been possible without the grant so I’m very grateful to Santander.”

Toxicology at Surrey benefits from strong ties with Unilever

Unilever has a long-standing connection with the University’s full-time Toxicology Masters programme, stretching back almost a quarter of a century.

Its Safety and Environmental Assurance Centre (SEAC) awarded the first scholarship to an MSc Toxicology student in 1989. To date 28 students have benefited from the support and a further three will have their fees paid for in 2013-14.

One of the recent scholars, Tom Green, who graduated in 2012 and now has a full-time position with Unilever, said: “The scholarship was a massive help in financing my Masters degree. Unilever also offered a temporary job to students on the course and I was awarded this position. I subsequently applied for a permanent job and I am now a toxicologist working on the toxicological risk assessment of personal care, refreshment and food products. I can’t thank Unilever enough for investing in the course and in me!”

Unilever’s SEAC staff are also involved with teaching on the course and advise on curriculum development to ensure the programme remains up-to-date and responsive to the needs of industry.

Dr Julie Howarth, programme director, said: “Unilever has provided a high level of support and resource to this course over many years and the scholarship has enabled us to attract high calibre graduates onto the programme and into careers in toxicology.

“In total 19 graduates have been employed by Unilever, and some of them have, in turn, contributed to the MSc teaching and project supervision.”

Talented students rewarded

BAE Systems Detica has been a supporter of the University for a number of years, rewarding students for their hard work.

This year, two awards were presented. The BAE Systems Detica Prize is awarded to the best final year project by a student on a BEng/MEng programme in Electronic Engineering in the area of digital signal processing applied to communications and/or audio/visual systems. The recipient is Richard Allwood for his software project investigating the use of computer vision, such as CCTV cameras, to detect people when the video footage is of low resolution.

The Detica Prize, for the best overall student on the MSc Security Technologies and Applications programme, was awarded to Nicholai Portelli.

Where there’s a will …Since its earliest days, legacy pledges have provided a vital source of funds for the University. Regardless of their size, each and every one of these legacies has a tremendous impact on university life – supporting higher education or research, helping your department or our students directly and developing Surrey’s campus.

This is one of the most simple and flexible ways of giving – and yet it is often the most significant gift a person ever makes. It is an opportunity to help shape the future of a great University.

The following Q & As give more information on legacies:

Q I would like to support the University with a gift in my will, but my family comes first. How can I still make an impact?We always encourage our alumni and supporters to ensure that their family and friends are carefully provided for before they consider leaving a legacy to the University, as we appreciate that their needs must

come first. In such cases, you can choose to allocate a percentage of the residue of your estate as a gift to the University. In this way you do not have to make a decision on what might be an adequate sum many years from now. Even a small percentage of your estate residue can make a considerable difference.

Q Can I specify which part of the University is to benefit?Yes, you can. For example, you may have a special interest in a particular faculty or department, a field of study, or a specific area of research, or you may wish to establish a scholarship or lecture series, perhaps in memory of a close friend or relative.

Battersea graduate promotes healthier future

Seventy years ago, Erica Pilliner (née Birtle) arrived at Battersea from her Yorkshire home to study to be a domestic science teacher. Unusual for its time, her parents were determined that their daughter would be self-supporting and have a good career.

Fortunately for Erica, her family was able to afford the costs to make this happen, but she is aware that this is not the case for everyone. To help students in the future, Erica is leaving a legacy to relieve some of the financial burden that may put off talented teenagers from applying to university.

She particularly wishes to support students whose studies will equip them with the knowledge to encourage people to live more healthily and take exercise.

“I am very interested in health research and the need to ensure people eat sensibly and look after themselves,” said Erica. “I was lucky that my parents were determined for me to succeed and were able to support my education. I want there to be an incentive for those who can’t afford to come.”

As a charity, the University is exempt from Inheritance and Income Tax so Erica’s legacy will reduce the amount of tax on her estate.

Erica has very fond memories of her Battersea days, despite the fact they took place during the war. She remembers that classroom tables had to be clear underneath so students could dive under them during a bombing raid, and there wasn’t an opportunity to do any advanced cooking due to rationing.

She subsequently went on to have a successful teaching career, just as her parents had hoped.

Q Are there any tax benefits to leaving a legacy to the University of Surrey?Yes. As a charity, the University is exempt from Inheritance and Income Tax – from April 2012, any estate that leaves at least 10% to a UK registered charity will be able to take advantage of a 4% cut in Inheritance Tax (down to 36%).

Q I already have a will. How can I include the University of Surrey? You can add a legacy to the University by simply adding a codicil to your will. Please contact us as we can send you a form to complete and pass to your solicitor.

We are here to help

If you have already decided to provide a gift to Surrey by way of a legacy, we would be grateful if you could let us know. This will enable us to ensure that any aspects of your plans involving the University are understood and achievable. Also, we can thank you for your support in your lifetime and keep you in touch with developments at the University.

16 | Investing in our campus | University of Surrey University of Surrey | Supporting Surrey | 17

Training the vets of the futureThe University launches an exciting new School of Veterinary Medicine in 2014, nestled in 900 acres on its Manor Park campus.

The School, the only one south of London, will feature purpose-built facilities, including a Clinical Skills Centre, a large pathology unit and teaching, research and diagnostic laboratories.

The focus for the new School will be to train the veterinary professionals of the future under the ‘One Health – One Medicine’ philosophy which fosters interdisciplinary collaborations in research and care to improve human and animal health. With animal welfare at the core of the curriculum, and students working with animals from day one, the School will pioneer new teaching, learning and research. Our vision is to create a centre of excellence for veterinary medicine and science in the South-East.

Cutting edge technologyA passion to improve the care and health of animals, with benefits for humans too, lies at the heart of the new School. To equip the veterinary leaders of the future with the skills they need, our students will be exposed to Surrey’s cutting-edge technology in engineering and physics as well as receiving core veterinary training.

The Clinical Skills Centre will use a variety of teaching tools, including simulators such as a haptic cow. Haptic technology allows a person to interact with a 3D computer-generated virtual environment through the sense of touch. Using the haptic cow, students can learn how to examine cows to give them a more hands-on experience from day one of their veterinary degree.

The pathology lab will provide diagnostic and research facilities to local veterinary practices and institutes, studying how disease in animals compares with humans and vice versa. The main research areas will include cancer biology, cardiovascular disease, and infectious diseases – which all affect humans and animals.

Students will also be able to practise their interpersonal skills in a mock veterinary practice and they will receive training in core business skills too.

Working together to advance animal welfareThrough strong partnerships with world-leading research institutes and veterinary surgeries, we aim to form a centre of excellence for the whole veterinary community, through research and knowledge exchange, and offering lifelong learning opportunities for practising veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, para-professionals and clinical scientists. Furthermore, the University has strong links with the Royal Surrey County Hospital and has already forged strong collaborative research links in oncology, nutrition and infectious disease.

Building relationships with institutions and centres of excellence is core to the Surrey philosophy. It will help shape our programme, the School and the whole model of veterinary training we provide.

One of our key partners, leading veterinary orthopaedic surgeon Noel Fitzpatrick, said: “The School stands for something real and tangible in the world of medicine that I am extremely excited about.”

Strong leadershipProfessor Christopher Proudman is the founding head of the School and brings with him a wealth of experience in veterinary science. His current research focus is in the area of equine gastrointestinal health and disease, and he is thrilled to be joining Surrey at such an exciting time.

He said: “I have been hugely impressed by the commitment of the University and its diverse departments to making this project work; there seems to be a real sense of pride and shared-ownership. This is exactly what we need in order to develop a cross-disciplinary school that embraces the One Health agenda and that capitalises on the many areas of expertise in the University for the benefit of animal health.”

How you can help us The new School is a major initiative for the University and the region, and there are a number of ways in which our supporters can play a role in further enhancing the School and its facilities. You can help by supporting:

• Researchtoenhancebothanimalandhumanhealth• Studentscholarshipsandbursariestoallowthebestand

brightest students to study veterinary medicine, regardless of their financial means

• ThedevelopmentofaleadingClinicalSkillsSuiteandpathology research unit, with equipment and facilities that offer the best quality of teaching and research and the highest standards of animal welfare

Your support will help us to make a major contribution to the One Health – One Medicine agenda, providing answers to many of today’s pressing issues, such as controlling the spread of infectious diseases in animals and humans and improving healthcare.

18 | Art at heart of campus | University of Surrey

Art at heart of campusFifty years ago, who knew that the proceeds from a coffee machine would result in a wonderful art collection at the heart of the University.

In 1963, Professor Lewis Elton started a project to show real art in the Physics Department at Battersea College of Technology, funded initially by numerous cups of coffee! Today, there are more than 550 pieces of artwork, including the Lewis and Mary Elton collection of works by Picasso, Chagall, Cocteau, Klee and other artists.

The contract with exhibitors in the Gallery states that the University is always very grateful for gifts or loans of works of art and many of them have responded with great generosity. Our most recent donation comes from one of Surrey’s evening class tutors, Annie Boisseau, who has exhibited in the Lewis Elton Gallery on campus, with her In Search of Silence paintings.

She said: “The response to the exhibition was marvellous and in return I wanted to donate a painting which I felt reflected the essence of my show.”

Paolo Gheri, an Italian friend of one of our alumni, Luciano Cassara, has also donated two paintings from his exhibition, Images of Tuscany, and Luciano has given three watercolours by Vanda Callisano.

These are the latest in a long line of exceptional artists and supporters who have contributed to our marvellous collection and exhibited in our Gallery.

When the Gallery was relocated to its current home on the ground floor of the Library building, it was named

the Lewis Elton Gallery and indeed it was Lewis who was responsible for the first major donation: a collection of drawings and paintings made by Eilean Pearcey, a friend of his, of the great Indian dancer Uday Shankar (brother of Ravi Shankar).

It was he who introduced Professor Carola Grindea to Pat Grayburn, the University’s curator. Carola donated a selection of works by her brother-in-law, Arnold Daghani, a survivor of the Holocaust. Many of his paintings are also held in the Centre for German-Jewish Studies at the University of Sussex.

Other members of staff among our donors are Dr Mohammed Sanduk, whose painting of the University Crest on glass is displayed in Senate

House Reception, and evening class tutor William Lawrence, who has donated a number of pieces.

Dudley Eustace, a former member of the University Council and a great collector of Chinese art, donated Concubine of the Tang Emperor by Wu Ching Ju, which adorns the staircase in the Ivy Arts Centre to stunning effect.

Erzsébet Sajó not only gave us a generous gift of 10 delightful engravings by her husband Gyula but also two of her own mosaics.

A notable feature of our campus is the sculptures in our open spaces, and we are grateful for those that have been donated: Spiral by Bridget McCrum from Juliet Arnold

in memory of her husband; Thinking of my Future by Christopher Chipfuya, from the daughters of Sir David Orr, a former member of Council; and Chameleonesque II by Yin Lam from local benefactors Roy and Carol Leighton.

Pat Grayburn said: “Art plays an important role at the University and the exhibitions are much appreciated by students, staff and the local community. We are currently in the midst of a photographic audit of the collection and it will soon be available to view online.

“Need I add that the University still has a lot of wall space and anyone who would like to add their name to our list of donors would be more than welcome!”

We are grateful for all the donations we receive and would also like to thank the following for contributing to our collection:

Surrey is fortunate that we receive support from our generous alumni but also from institutions and individuals who may not have gone to Surrey at all. I count myself in the last category. I believe education should be available to everyone, irrespective of their personal background or means. I, like many, enjoyed the privilege of free education, but in today’s climate it is critically important that there are people and institutions willing to fund bursaries, scholarships, and other areas that enrich the student experience and further world-leading research.

Higher education has a life-changing effect on talented but disadvantaged young people – just as it did for me – and there is no better way of investing in the future.

One of the challenges highlighted by the 2012 Pearce Report’s review of philanthropy in UK higher education was the need for universities such as Surrey to promote public understanding of the impact we make to society – from improving young people’s life chances to offering solutions to some of the biggest issues of our times.

Britain has a strong history of philanthropy and over half of the UK population gives to charity each year. We need to stress the impact of our education and research to more people to allow this vital work to continue.

Much of our research underpins and supports the work of other charities

and organisations. For example, improved detection rates and treatment of prostate cancer have been developed by scientists at Surrey which will make a real difference to thousands of patients. The University is at the cutting edge of research that helps people all over the world have access to safe water, and our new Vet School will focus on improving the health of humans and animals.

Surrey has a compelling strategy for growth that is already delivering real results in terms of talent and the positive difference it is making to society. As a Surrey resident I want to play a part in such an exciting programme that will make an impact on present and future students, on the local and national economy and on the global stage through alumni across the world.

I urge all of you reading this report to play your part in encouraging support, whether from our alumni or from those both closer and further afield.

We are very grateful for all the donations we receive, small or large, which contribute to an enriching environment, where students can grow and learn, and funds life-changing research. I cannot put it more eloquently than the Pearce Report:

“Philanthropy changes higher education. And higher education changes the world. There is no stronger case for support.”

Philanthropy changes higher education. And higher education changes the world. There is no stronger case for support.

Pearce Report

A strong case for supportOur new Chair of Council, Dr Jim Glover, writes about the future of philanthropy and what it means for Surrey.

Jim has worked for Allied Domecq, the Kingfisher group, Patientline and NAAFI, the trading organisation of HM forces. He has held a number of high profile positions, including MD and then Chairman of Superdrug, and Deputy MD of Woolworths. He was a University of Birmingham Council member for 10 years, and is a past Chairman of the Royal Mencap Society. Jim is currently Chairman of Andrews & Partners, an estate agency owned by charities, and is a non-executive director of Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises.

Surrey’s roots stretch back more than 120 years to its days as Battersea Polytechnic before attaining University status in 1966. The institution has evolved significantly in that time but some things have remained constant. We strongly believe that the knowledge we generate should be used to help society and improve people’s lives.

The University plays a leading role in the Guildford community and the county. We are one of the biggest employers in the region, and our Surrey Research Park is home to some 140 companies. Together with the 15,000 students living in Guildford each year, we are strong contributors to the local economy.

However, although Surrey is perceived as a wealthy, leafy county, we still have areas where families struggle to survive financially on our doorstep. One of our aims is to ensure everyone has opportunities to go on to higher education regardless of their situation.

Lewis Young, centre, volunteers at Open Days, speaking to prospective students

Dancer Julie Havelund is a firm believer that volunteering is a win-win situation for both the individual and the organisation, the former gaining new skills and experiences and the latter benefiting from an enthusiastic supporter.

Volunteer profile: Julie Havelund

Julie graduated with a BA in Dance and Culture in 2012 and has since returned to the University to give students an insight into life in the dance world.

“I want to stay involved with Surrey and enjoy passing on my experiences and tips,” she said. “I believe that what you give to the world is what you are likely to get back. By volunteering, you are doing a favour of course, but you are certainly doing yourself a favour too. Volunteering is not only great for gaining knowledge in certain areas and expanding the CV,

but also for interacting with different people. I believe the confidence gained in volunteering is precious.”

Julie, who comes from Denmark, chose to study at Surrey because of its reputation and its professional placement opportunity which proved invaluable for directing her career.

“My year at Independent Dance and Siobhan Davies Dance was one of the best parts of the degree. Through my placements I gained truly valuable experiences and connections which I will continue to work with for many years.”

22 | How you can support the University | University of Surrey

Contribute to Surrey’s successVolunteering time is one of the most valuable ways in which our alumni can support our students and the University.

We will be expanding the volunteering opportunities through a new programme this autumn that will build on existing relationships and allow our supporters to play an active role in the Forever Surrey network.

We recognise that our alumni and supporters are a fantastic asset and great ambassadors for the University. The new programme will offer a range of activities from spending an hour or two helping at an event to mentoring a student or hosting a reunion.

Trudy Monk, Head of Alumni Relations, said: “We know that many alumni are keen to give something back to the University and the new volunteering programme is a great way to do so. Many of our alumni already commit their time to helping in a number of ways which we truly appreciate.

“By offering their time and skills, graduates can make a vital contribution to what makes Surrey successful.”

Wherever you are in the world, you can provide invaluable support to Surrey by volunteering as little or as much time as you are able to spare.

Please consider helping us in some of the following ways:

Where you can make a difference

Mentor a studentOffer one-to-one advice to current students who want to work in your industry.

Share industry knowledge and experience Support careers-related activities, including CV workshops, networking events, talks and seminars.

Speak to prospective students at University Open DaysCome and meet prospective students and their parents and share with them your first-hand stories of what it was like to be a student at Surrey.

Become an international ambassadorRepresent Surrey at recruitment fairs and help us to organise overseas events and small gatherings.

Stay connectedWe really encourage alumni to keep in contact with the University, both to benefit from the Forever Surrey network and to support us today and in the future. We have a number of opportunities to help you stay involved with university life, support current students and access recent graduate talent.

Fund a scholarshipWe aim to make education accessible to talented students, irrespective of their backgrounds, which is why we provide the best support package that we can. Financial help from our alumni and supporters widens the opportunities available.

Donate to the Annual FundEvery year hundreds of Surrey students benefit from the University’s Annual Fund. For almost a decade the Annual Fund has been supporting student welfare, enhancing the student experience, improving the teaching and learning environment and developing campus facilities beyond the scope of the University’s core funding.

Support University projectsMany of our life-changing research projects and key developments would not be possible without contributions from our supporters. There are a number of funding opportunities with our new School of Veterinary Medicine, for example.

Offer a work placementOur Professional Training Year (PTY) placement programme is one of the best in the world and is an integral part of life at the University of Surrey. The experience, maturity and confidence our students gain while on placement, either in the UK or abroad, gives them a competitive edge when they graduate, which is shown in our consistently high employment rates.

We are always keen to hear from employers able to host a placement. It allows our students to put their knowledge and skills into practice in a real professional environment. In return, the enthusiasm, ambition and creativity of Surrey undergraduates enhance the organisation’s workplace.

Graduate Sam Sinister, from ‘innocent’, the health drinks company, is a strong supporter of the PTY:

“The placement year is such a great initiative and I wish more businesses would offer one. Our previous PTY student has now joined us full-time, which shows how valuable the process can be. I feel very strongly about industrial placements and, as far as I am concerned, it’s a no brainer.”

Financial report2012/13

To be a world-class university needs on-going investment in our staff, our teaching and research facilities, and continued support for our students.

State funding and student fees are vital, but our ability to encourage contributions from those who care about the University’s vision and future can make a big difference. This year, our donors have done just that with increased funding for our Annual Fund and significant support for research, new facilities and nurturing tomorrow’s talent through bursaries and scholarships.

Despite the current financial challenges facing the university sector, Surrey is very focused on investing for the future. One of our most significant current projects is the new School of Veterinary Medicine which will open in 2014. The only one south of London, there will be a number of funding opportunities to enhance the building, the research agenda and student support.

The University remains hugely grateful for the philanthropic support we receive, which in 2012/13 totalled nearly £1.5 million.

Thank you to our donors and volunteersI would like to say a big thank-you to our alumni and supporters for their generous support over the past year which has enhanced the student experience in so many important areas.

Giving to higher education is an investment in future generations. At Surrey, we believe that education should be about transforming lives and making a lasting contribution to society, and we are committed to attracting the most talented students, regardless of their background.

Your donations allow us to continue to provide a positive student experience, as witnessed in the latest National Student Survey in which our students gave us their highest ever satisfaction ranking – 92%, one of the best in the country.

Contributions to our Annual Fund benefit all students through improved facilities, scholarships and the Hardship Fund, which is a vital support to those who face serious financial difficulty through no fault of their own.

We are also thankful for the donations that allow us to undertake research that provides answers to many of today’s most pressing issues, such as cancer, global water shortages, and controlling the spread of infectious diseases.

I would like to thank the many alumni and friends who have generously given their time and expertise – for example mentoring or coaching students, being a guest lecturer, sharing industry knowledge or acting as an ambassador for the University. Our new volunteering programme will provide more opportunities for our supporters to play an active role at Surrey.

It takes many people to make a successful university, not least the continued support of our alumni, donors and friends, for which we offer our grateful thanks.

Gift circlesWe value tremendously the gifts that we receive which play a crucial role in shaping the future of the University and the next generation of Surrey students.

Our gift circles enable us to thank and recognise donors who have shown particular commitment in their giving.

Donors who make a gift of £1,000 or more in a single year, as well as those who make a legacy pledge, are invited into the Oak Circle. It is named after Surrey’s oldest and most-prized tree, the 130-year-old oak which stands on Manor Park. The oak symbolises the University’s solid roots in Battersea and the growth, strength and potential evident in our community today.

As a thank-you, Oak Circle members have opportunities to speak with academics and are invited to University events.

Eligible donors are automatically accepted for membership of the relevant circle. All members of both circles receive a commemorative pin badge featuring an imprint of Surrey’s logo, the stag and key. The stag denotes the medieval royal park on which the campus is built and the key is a relic of the crest of Battersea Polytechnic and a symbol from Surrey’s coat of arms.

Next summer, 2014, we will be holding a donor reception to personally thank you for your support.

For further information about our gift circles and their benefits, email the Alumni and Development Office at development@surrey.ac.uk or call +44 (0)1483 689260

Anyone who makes a regular pledge throughout the year totalling £100 or more is welcomed into our Acorn Circle. It takes its name from the seed of the magnificent oak trees that flourish on Surrey’s Stag Hill campus. The acorn is a symbol of good fortune and acknowledges that great things will grow from small beginnings.

Our thanks to you
